Out of more than 740 Whataburger locations, 21 stores are finalists in the company’s “WhataGames” competition and one of them is in San Antonio.

The contest pits all of the company’s team members in operations, corporate history and customer service. In the initial competition, 100 semifinalists advanced from all the stores, and the remaining 21 will compete next month in Dallas during the Whataburger Family Convention.

Finalist teams are made up of 13 competitors. Each member of the Gold Medal-winning team receives $5,000, each Silver Medal team member wins $2,500, and each Bronze Medal team member wins $1,000.

San Antonio’s team is at 5760 W. Loop 1604 North, near the intersection of Culebra Road. The games were created in 1996 as a training exercise and now occur every other year.
